Permanent Makeup
I am in Melbourne and I had been considering permanent makeup for some time & finally bit the bullet and booked in to have my eyebrows fixed 6 weeks ago. After so many years of plucking I virtually had nothing left just a few tufts of hair here and there.
I was sick of having to draw my eyebrows on every morning so I thought why not have them done permanently by a cosmetic tattooist.
It took about 1 1/2 hours for the first application & 1 hour for the second application 4 weeks later, no pain and the woman was really nice & she gave me a seniors discount too.
I am so happy that I have eyebrows again, they look great & I have even been asked if I have had a facelift ha-ha.
I have now booked in to have my lips done next week so I wont have to apply lipy each morning any more!
Cathyhn - I am speaking as a person who has three tattoos(all small, all tasteful) , and I agree that the eyebrow tattooing can work out very well. However I have seen some results of lip tattooing and I must warn you - the lip tattoo is just the lipline, and when you are not wearing lippy, it looks very strange indeed - did they tell you that? You still have to apply lipstick to fill in. If your lips are naturally pale they can look pretty weird with a permanent bright red line around them. I do know a couple of women who have been very disappointed with the results.
I realise you are keen to have it done but try Googling "lipline tattoo" and see some images of the results - you might change your mind.
The eyeliner tattoo also can look weird particularly as you age. The only one that really looks ok is the eyebrow one.
